falling damage

Quote from jeswatkins1 >>

Hey dnd players! I'm playing a warlock with the repelling blast invocation and misty step with winged boots. If I were to misty step above a creature then repelling blast them down with two beams of eldritch blast with repelling blast straight into the ground (20 ft movement directly away from me) , then procede to hover above them, would the creatuire taek some kind of fall damage? OR is it just the normally bludgeoning damaging?

 To answer this definitively, per RAW, you only suffer "fall damage" if you fall. Being pushed into an object (in this case, the ground, but this applies to being pushed into walls, large boulders, etc.) would not cause your target to suffer fall damage (though additional environmental hazards might apply, such as being pushed into a spike pit, vat of acid, etc.). In this instance, because you are directly above them, you would deal the normal force damage dealt by Eldritch Blast with no additional effect. The rules do their best to replicate physics, but ultimately, where there's a gap in physics, the rules prefer consistency over reality.

Typical caveat applies: RAW is not god, DM gets to make the ultimate call, if they want to add this effect, they may.
